Welcome to another episode of Cracking Addiction, where we delve into the world of addiction and recovery. In this episode, Dr. Ferghal Armstrong and guest Dr. Laura Petracek explore the third step in the twelve-step process. They discuss the concept of turning our will and our lives over to a higher power, exploring different interpretations of what that higher power may be. Dr. Petracek shares her insights on the challenges of surrendering oneself to the unknown and the importance of accountability in the recovery process. They also discuss the Serenity Prayer and its role in understanding the third step. If you're interested in addiction recovery and understanding the power of surrender, this episode is a must-listen.Key Points and Learning Outcomes:1. Understanding the Concept of Higher Power: The third step involves making a conscious decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of a higher power as we understand it. This concept varies for each individual, and it can include religious beliefs, nature, support groups, or even a sponsor. By exploring different interpretations, we can personalize our recovery journey and find a source of accountability and support.2. Accountability and the Need for Human Connection: Surrendering to a higher power alone may not provide enough accountability in recovery. Dr. Petracek highlights the importance of involving real people, such as sponsors or support groups, in our commitment to abstain from addictive substances. This external accountability helps to overcome denial and provides a stronger foundation for long-term recovery.3. Surrendering Self-Control and Willpower: The idea of surrendering our self-control, willpower, and identity can be daunting for many individuals. Particularly for those who have relied on drugs or alcohol as a coping mechanism, letting go of familiar habits may feel like stepping into the unknown. However, surrendering the things we cannot change is a crucial step towards personal growth and finding serenity in recovery.4. Addressing Doubts and Skepticism: Some individuals may find difficulty with the third step due to its traditional association with a white Christian God. To overcome this barrier, reframing the concept of a higher power is vital. Books such as "Twelve Steps a Woman's Way" or using therapy approaches like dialectical behavior therapy can help individuals find a more inclusive interpretation that aligns with their personal beliefs and culture.Actionable Takeaways:1. Explore Your Understanding of Higher Power: Take time to reflect on your own understanding of a higher power. Consider what brings you a sense of peace, support, and guidance. It doesn't have to conform to traditional notions; it should be a source of strength that resonates with you.2. Seek Accountability in Human Connections: Find someone you trust, such as a sponsor or a support group, to hold you accountable in your recovery journey. Sharing your commitments and struggles with others can significantly enhance your chances of maintaining sobriety.3. Embrace Surrender and Letting Go: Recognize the limitations of your control over certain aspects of life. Embrace the idea of surrendering the things you cannot change and focusing your energy on the areas where you can make a difference.4. Challenge Traditional Notions: If you struggle with the concept of a higher power due to cultural or religious differences, explore alternative perspectives and resources that align with your beliefs. Look for books, communities, or therapists who can help you reframe the concept to make it more inclusive and meaningful for you.Quote:"It's like you're asking them to go off a cliff without a parachute. It's very scary. But not drinking or drugging is scary because you don't know what's going to happen. But if I wake up and have a beer, I know exactly what's going to happen and it's not...

If you're trying to reduce your dog's barking recognizing what your dog is telling you is the first step. I'll explain the sound that means your dog is feeling excited.

Listen as Camilla Gray-Nelson, author of Lipstick and the Leash: Dog Training a Woman's Way, explains the answer and tells women how to get control back.  Next, if your cat is peeing outside its box, it might not like the brand of kitty litter you are buying.
